Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie team up for 'Evil' tour coming to Rochester before Halloween

The Associated Press"Dope Show" singer Marilyn Manson, left, and "Dragula" rocker Rob Zombie are teaming up for a "Twins of Evil" concert tour coming to Rochester this October.

It's never too early to start planning for spooky fun around Halloween if you're a fan of the macabre.

Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie announced they're teaming up for a "Twins of Evil" concert tour this fall with a stop near Central New York. J. Devil, the dubstep-spinning DJ alter-ego of KoRn singer Jonathan Davis, will open the show.

The trio of scary rockers will perform Tuesday, October 16 at 7 p.m. at the Main Street Armory in Rochester. Since it's two weeks before Halloween, the concert will include "theatrics" and "ghoulish imagery," plus animatronic robots, pyrotechnics and horror movie clips.

Tickets are $47.50 and $55 and go on sale Saturday, July 21 at 10 a.m.

"Finally! Why did the most obvious tour take so long to happen? Who knows? Who cares? It's happening now," the former White Zombie frontman said in a press release. "Be prepared for something wicked this way a-coming."

"I have sympathy for the Wh-re of Babylon that gave birth to these twins of evil, and this abomination of a tour," Manson added. "There is no babysitter, and there is no repairing her womb. If Rob Zombie doesn't [expletive] you up, than I surely will. Hide all drugs and firearms... I'm coming to town."

Zombie, whose last release was 2010's "Hellbilly Deluxe 2," is working on a new album and finishing up his latest work as a movie director. "The Lords of Salem," a horror film about witches who lure victims to a modern rock concert, opens in theaters later this year.

Manson, whose past hits have included "Dope Show" and "The Beautiful People," is currently promoting his new album "Born Villain." Released in May, the record features the single "No Reflection" and a cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" featuring Johnny Depp.
